Took a trip to the beach, there are so any ones to pick, we opted for Siesta Beach. A two hour drive and we arrived, free parking on the beach front, got there before 1030. We hired a wind protector, you can take your own just make sure it is sturdy enough to withstand the wind. Not sure if it is always windy on this beach, but it was on this day. The white powder sand went on for miles, absolutely beautiful, we sat and watched the birds dive for fish in the shallows. We had a 20min walk into the local bars for some lunch, lots to choose from, excellent value for money. As beach days go, this was a very pleasant, quiet day, the beach is huge and there are lots of areas to pitch on. Where we parked there were very clean restrooms and a boardwalk access for wheelchairs etc onto the beach. The only reason this did not get a 5, i had to pick sand out from everywhere. 😝

Had a great time with our family. Lots of space to set up chairs and umbrellas. The sand is beautiful. This was our second time so we remember extra sunscreen as the white sand reflected so much on us last time that we were turned into a pair of steamed lobsters. This time we were ready and had a great time. Plus the little showers and foot sprayers were great for removing the sand on the way out. Only improvement would be more parking as that was a bit of a mess…

While visiting friends they took my wife and I for a day's vacation on Siesta Beach. At first, I was hesitate to go, but relented as we were their guests. They were providing the transportation and even lunch. It would have been a grave mistake on my part not to go. We enjoyed walking, having a 'picnic lunch' and just the beauty of the sand and sound of the ocean. We enjoyed the beauty as we wished every beach could have. We were only there for a scant few hours, but it only seemed as minutes. Our intentions are to return in 2024 for a much longer visit.

Was staying in Venice but was not the beach we were looking for. Found this beach and was totally amazed at the difference less than 30 minutes. The beach is very wide so it is a bit of a hike from the parking lot. The white sand is beautiful and cool on your feet. The water is the lovely aqua blue like the Caribbean waters.

Awesome beach! Really has it all, free parking, amazing sand and water! Plenty of space(even though it is a long hike from parking to the water). Lots of room in either direction to walk and search for shells and critters! Still hoping for a full sand dollar! The showers at the exit to the parking lot are very nice as well! Great place!

What are the best beaches to visit. If you’re staying on siesta key Beach, parking is not an issue. Otherwise try to find parking through a bed-and-breakfast or online. RED tide has become an issue and unpredictable, please keep an eye on that prior to your visit.

The descriptions of Siesta Beach are accurate. The sand is great. Felt the beach was very clean and roomy. Sand Volleyball Courts are positioned away from the water and the sunbathers, which is great. Public restrooms and snack bar are conveniently located by the parking lot. Near the parking lot were some concrete loungers, which would have been nice to have closer to the water, but a nice amenity anyways. Parking was free but can fill up fast. Getting off Siesta Key at the end of the day will take you some time if there is traffic. Definitely worth the trip.

Siesta Key Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to, including non-public beaches. The 99% pure white quartz sand when dry is like powdered sugar. We rented chairs and an umbrella from Boucher Brothers and had a wonderful time relaxing. It really is a world class beach with great public facilities.

We had an amazing time at this beach, the team are fantastic, so lovely and helpful! The beach is stunning and a must visit if you’re in the city. Tyler, Kieth and Jesse were the best and helped us out with any questions we had regarding the beach. An amazing experience and we’ll defo be back!

Absolutely my favorite beach hands down, so beautiful with the greatest beach attendance possible. Louis in particular was hands down so attentive and helpful towards my needs and what I wanted with my family and a few friends. Would definitely visit again, as soon as possible.
